Considering UNC basketball wing Cade Tyson's prowess from downtown at Belmont, chances are many more splashes are on the way.
Cade Tyson's first two outings in the 2024-25 UNC basketball regular season didn't yield what many folks expected. After finishing No. 2 in the country with his 46.5 shooting percentage beyond the arc as a sophomore at Belmont last season, he sat 1-for-7 from the field, including an 0-for-3 clip from deep, while totaling only two points through the Tar Heels' 1-1 start, albeit in only 8.8 minutes per game off the bench.
But just over seven minutes into the second half, Tyson connected on a three from the corner, drawing the following highlight post from the UNC basketball social media team:Plus, with under 10 minutes remaining in the contest, Tyson knocked down two more threes in a span of 54 seconds.He finished with 11 points, two rebounds, and two turnovers in 21 minutes of action, shooting 4-for-8 overall and 3-for-7 from 3-point range.
